How did the «reanimation» of the found documents of the V.I. Lenin partisan brigade take place

Last week, a ceremony was held at the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus to transfer for permanent storage documents of the partisan brigade named after V.I. Lenin, found in a forest in the vicinity of the village of Gotsk, Soligorsk district.

The documents lay in the ground for more than 80 years and were in a dilapidated and dilapidated state. As a result of the painstaking work of specialists from the Central Laboratory in de-cementing stuck together sheets, hygienic cleaning, disinfection, careful drying, digitization and restoration, the found documents were given a second life, allowing researchers to fill in the pages of the history of partisan warfare.
